United States Health Information Knowledgebase (USHIK)

This registry has been developed through the collaboration of several health information organizations and Federal agencies, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Defense’s (DOD) Military Health System (MHS), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the National Institutes of Health’s National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). Collectively, these organizations recognize the need for a net-enabled registry of health care standards to be maintained over the long term.
